Wanted to give this an updated review. This was the best recipe I found in terms of having easy-to-find ingredients. I have made this twice now. Once following the recipe & directions to the letter. This last time, I could not get them made in 3 hours. I had the crockpot turned off (but not opened) after nearly four hours. About 1.5 hours later, I finally opened it up to stir and it was fine! Got a rave review from the person who "won" this in our office's white elephant gift exchange, too. The combination of the chocolate and the salty peanuts is to die for! -
this recipe was a big mess it did not turn out good at all.<br/>egrimes39 -
Unbelievably easy and delicious too! DD (age 14) and I made this together. We all loved it. We'd also like to try it with other nuts such as cashews, pecans and macadamias. Yum! Like the other reviewer, I will be adding this to my recipes that I use for homemade gifts. Wonderful! -
I knew this was "WOWEE!" when I first saw the recipe! This is chocolate covered peanuts <i>to die for</i>! My DH saw these laying out to cool and said, "You can only take a few to work for the closest of friends." This from a man who rarely likes anything! So easy to make; definitely going into my gift rotation! Thanks, SueVM! Made for <b>PAC Spring '09</b>.

I only work part time these days due to arthritus in my hands.
I love to cook and try new foods.
I like Middle Eastern cooking as I travelled to Turkey and Cyprus and got hooked on the foods there.
I collect cookbooks and probably have over 100 in my library so far, British, Greek, Turkish, Italian, Indian, Spanish, French, German, Jewish and Asian.
